I thought there was some software you could use to bridge them?

It's a high-bandwidth bridge, so it takes up both of the teeth on both cards.

Not really my question. I've got 3 970's. Just wanting to see if it will work without a 3 way SLI bridge.

I've got my hands on 3 GTX 970's, planning on testing 3 way SLI but don't have a 3-way bridge. Just a 2-way bridge. Will it work and if not is there some software I can use to make it work?

Thanks for your help

Hi, I've currently got 2 4GB sticks in my system, but need to upgrade. I've got my hands on two 8GB sticks and want to use them alongside what I currently have installed. Would having 24GB of RAM be okay? It's an Intel i7 4770k MSI Gaming 3 Z97 motherboard. Thanks

Sorry, I forgot to mention that it had two 240mm rads, unfortunately the pump was only just powerful enough to circulate the oil so it was basically pointless. Good Point 2, washing up liquid is a great way of breaking down oil molecules so it's great for cleaning.

Hi, I intended to make this a few months ago after I finished my Oil build, but never go around to it. So I thought I'd make a summary of the experience so that anyone else who is planning on doing this can reference it. So about 7 months ago I decided to throw caution to the wind and purchase all the stuff for an Oil cooled PC, it's something I'd always wanted to do but had never had the time or money to do. So the first iteration worked extremely well for about 12 hours and then the fish tank that I'd used developed a crack and spilt oil everywhere (Note, washing up liquid is your friend). No worries, I went to the pet store a few days later and got myself a more expensive fish tank which I felt confident would be able to hold the oil. I then bought a cheap case to cut up so that I could use it as a motherboard tray and lid. I put the newly built PC in the oil and filled it up and it worked. I began testing and all seemed fine until about 1 hour of gaming had passed, at this point the oil had heated up to such an extent that the CPU and GPU were both pinned at 90C even whilst idling, the fish tank was radiating so much heat that it was uncomfortable to be in the same room as it and it burnt my hand to touch it. I began just using it as a media PC, which wasn't ideal as it made a lot of splashing noises.Eventually, I stopped using it all together and it started to gather dust, at this point the oil had splashed along the top and it meant that everything stuck to the PC so it was extremely dirty. So a few months passed and the place I worked decided that they needed to me to do some Video editing (Before working there I used to do a lot of free-lance content creation for companies), this was all well and good, so I drained the PC and hauled it to work, re-filled it and then it just went tits up. First, it wouldn't boot, then when it did the CPU was pinned at 40C and starting any task would overheat it. At this point I retired the PC and decided to put it back to an Aircooled one.I've not seen any documentation of this so I thought I'd give you guys a rundown of what I did. First, I took my system out of the tank and placed it in 5 bin bags and then a box to transport home, Once home I left it outside in my shed to drip dry for 2 days, after this I sat all day drying the system with a hair dryer on the cold setting and 2 rolls of kitchen roll. After a day and a lot of disassembly, everything was dry enough to put into a dry system (It's still got a fair bit of oil on it, but it's not coming off). One new PSU, Case and CPU cooler later it's still not working perfectly, but it's allowed me to type this on so it'll do for now. If you are going to do an Oil cooled PC build please for the love of God follow the below advice; - Don't buy cheap, you'll buy twice and it makes a mess - Washing up liquid is your friend, use it. - Be prepared to spend a good few days on maintenance - Don't expect it to work straight away - Never move it around - Keep it as clean as possible - Plan ahead. If you've got any questions let me know, I'm happy to answer anything regarding the subject. For reference, this is the System I had submerged - Intel i7 4770K Stock cooler MSI Gaming 3 Z97 Board 8GB AMD Gaming RAM Zotac GTX 970 Corsair CS650W PSU Sandisk 256GB SSD

Sorry, my Internet is slow so uploading images takes a few minutes.

I've had a check, everything's in. I've been into the BIOS and put the fans on 100% as well with no prevail. It's a brand new cooler so it's clean, as is the rest of the system.

Arctic MX-2 I believe.

No, it's running stock. The coolers on now but basically just a boiled grain of rice.

Hi, So a few days ago my CPU started behaving abnormally. It began by idling at 40Ish degrees, where it would normally idle at 25. I tried running Prime95 and it jumped immediately up to 90 Degrees, so I turned it on and ordered new parts. One new CPU Cooler and Power supply it's occasionally idling at 25 but is heating up far too quickly. I've checked the mounting of the cooler and there is ample Thermal paste but it's still getting hot. Any ideas? For reference - Intel i7 4770K MSI Gaming 3 Z97 Motherboard Coolermaster 212 Cooler

I did have a look at that, but couldn't find anything about multiple people being able to use it at once.

Hi, 3 of us sit near each other but facing away. We want to have one monitor that we can all see that we could all drag and drop windows into to show each other. is there some software available to do this? Thanks
